Automate Summary Properties

R

Rich

When a PPT (I use 2003) file is created, placing the cursor over the file
shows some file information. If you right click the file, select properties
There are three tabs which appear. General, Custom, and Summary. Selecting
the Summary tab gives title, subject, author (etc.) fields, which can be
manually editted. Is there any way for PPT to automatically change/edit the
AUTHOR field when a different person edits the file?

Where would I find this macro?

I don't believe so, or at least not w/o VBA code in an add-in. But I'm also
pretty sure that the Last Saved By: field on the Statistics tab will update
each time the presentation is saved. Would that do?

That seems available via macro as:

ActivePresentation.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Last author")
